Has anyone else experienced complications after breast reconstruction surgery?

My implant surgery was done about three weeks ago

My breasts are significantly different sizes when I saw in the mirror while in the hospital I started crying I was told nothing. Doctor just keeps tiptoeing around the subject. Anybody have any advice for me?

After the double mastectomy in June, I had spacers put in and 5 1/2 months later after they are expanders and 5 1/2 months after the expanders were put in and I was to my max size of 650 the breast that had the cancer originally got infection and swelled up overnight and I had to be hospitalized and that was exactly 7 days before my implants were supposed to be put in and that was a day before Thanksgiving then they told me I had to wait three more months with one expander still put in which is and then the other breast that they took the expander out due to the infection went without an expander for three months 90 days and then that’s when they put my implants in and now I have two significantly different size breast, and one of my implants is up in my shoulder, and it hurts really bad and my other breast sags

I would recommend getting them out. I wish I was strong and knowledgeable enough to go without implant.

Marshel J. If you haven't done so already I would get a second opinion. And of possible is there a hospital or clinic that specializes in breast cancer reconstruction?
